GOVERNMENT GOULASH
This article will not focus on government or goulash this week . Today, these things seem unimportant to me because the Poplar community has lost someone that was a vital part of Poplar. Les Frantzick had the energy and the drive of someone 20 years younger. He wanted Poplar residents to work together to revitalize this community. As the president of the Chamber of Commerce, he worked on numerous community projects that were aimed at both businessmen and farmers. He put the welfare of this community and its people nt the top of his priority list. He was something special to me personally because he was always encouraging me to work for positive changes in Poplar. It was always easy to push for changes because you become inspired at the enthusiasm and the energy that he displayed in working for the betterment of this community. Les will be impossible to replace; the Chamber of Commerce and Poplar hove lost a fine leader and a good friend. I only hope that some of the projects that Les wanted to accomplish will be completed in the future . This would be a fine tribute to this man who hod mony friends who will miss him.

He is 5 years old, outgoing, imaginative, and full of many fantastic dreams you'd expect in a kid his age. . . except for one thing. Rocky is confined to a wheelchair by Werdnig Hoffman disease, one of 37 neuromuscular disorders Included in the programs of the Muscular Dystrophy Association .
Rocky's future-and the future of thousand's of other beautiful children-is not bright. There Is no cure yet for this or any of the other neuromuscular disorders related to dystrophy- with which MDAA is concerned. The only hope for these children ond hundreds of thousands like them lies In MDAA's massive research program. And the success of that program depends entirely on your support.
